Reviews

LOVE THIS PACK

"Picked up a handy 16L bag at a Cotopaxi pop up store while on a recent trip. I usually don’t go for anything this small, but the organization really makes it feel much larger than it is. Also, I couldn’t turn down the burnt orange color. I’m a bigger guy 5’10”, 300, & the pack still fits comfortably. That’s important as it’s not always the case. Can’t go wrong with this pack especially as an EDC, unless you’re looking for anything more than an overnighter or you just like to carry more."

Back to school

"Bought for my 8th grade son. He likes the compartments and ability To carry his Chromebook comfortably. He also really Likes the two water bottle Pockets. So far he’s taken it on a few vacations to break it in and it’s a winner!"

Love my new backpack

"I recently purchased a 16L backpack while I was traveling. It served me well with ample functional sized pockets and water bottle storage. Although it was not listed as a daypack, we used it as such and it was awesome! Bonus, the purple color matched my lavender water bottle!"

— Anna L. (5/5)

Perfect dog backpack

"I have two larger dogs and this is my go-to backpack for our longer walks/short hikes and beach visits. It is very durable yet lightweight. Has several different compartments including side pockets that hold my hydro flax. I highly recommend."

Excellent Tasra 16l

"16l Tasra is an excellent travel bag. Well made. The features are well thought out. The fast order response and shipping is greatly appreciated."

— James W. (5/5)

Love but not wide enough

"I love the pockets on this but the backpack needs to open at least 2 more inches. It’s not nearly wide enough. The straps are also terribly uncomfortable. Please redo this style to be bigger and more comfortable"

Tasra 16 L Daypack-Compact & Functional!

"I ordered the Tasra backpack in Whiskey Honeycomb as a backpack for my commute into the office and for travel. I love the colors, pockets on the front, and padded laptop sleeve! I am happy with my backpack and it's what I was expecting for a 16 L backpack. Note that the water bottle pockets fit a 24 oz. bottle comfortably. And the sides of the backpack don't expand much."

— Ella Q. (5/5)

Perfect Day Pack

"In all honesty, I bought this to take to a convention (Blade Show 2026) and it was the perfect size. I really love the structure of this bag and the different pockets are great for staying organized without loosing my things in the pack! The straps are super comfy (I wore this thing for a good 10 hours 3 days in a row and the only thing that bothered me was the back sweat I got due to the venue being a little warm xD)"

What a winner

"Gosh it’s a gorgeous pack. The front pockets are just marvellous and store a lot. My only drawback is that this pack is very narrow and tall, which means you can’t sit it up by itself, it just falls over. Which means it ends up laying on the ground everywhere. I’d rather have had it a bit shorter and wider like the fjall raven kanken bag design. Maybe that’s just me. The whiskey honeycomb colour is gorgeous, I was worried it would show dirt quickly as I put my bags through some intensive adventuring but that’s not the case. I’m very happy with the colouring in person, Cotopaxi really have a way of getting this right !"

Great bag

"Love Cotopaxi. This bag is the perfect size for commuting. It's of high quality with the zippers and straps. And I love the color, fatigue. Water bottle pocket will stretch to fit a good size bottle as well"
